Perceptible history հեղինակ RIch-ART In PIXELS

The versions you’ll see dotted about town today though are mostly no more than 200 years old at most. The majority now stable animals or are used as storerooms by owners who prefer to live in modern concrete houses like everybody else. Harran’s beehive houses are the only such structures still standing in Turkey, even though other nearby villages probably once featured them as well. If you cross over the border to Syria, however, there are (were?) many villages around Aleppo (Halep) that are similarly endowed, proof, as ever, that culture recognizes no political boundaries. Unfortunately Harran has a bad reputation for hassle. You will barely have got out of your car or bus before children will be swarming round you pestering you to buy things from them or accept them as "guides". Some people find this endearing, others irritating. For the sake of the latter please don't give out sweets, pens or money as it only exacerbates the situation. Harran is a rare town whose existence can be recognized from references in the Biblical Book of Genesis; the Prophet İbrahim (Abraham), who is believed to have been born in Urfa, is thought to have stayed here while traveling between Ur (modern-day Iraq) and Palestine. Not surprisingly, then, there are traces here of buildings that long pre-date the beehive houses, and there is believed to have been an important Assyrian settlement here with, at its heart, a temple to the moon god Sin that probably dated back to before 2000 BC. There are no obvious remains of the temple which probably stood where the castle is now and was destroyed on the orders of Emperor Theodosius in 382, but if you travel on from Harran to Soğmater you will see clear evidence of the moon cult in and around the modern village there.
